Strategies

AIIB Strategic Programming

The Bank follows a strategic and systematic approach to investment planning. The Bank's annual goal will be to fine-tune its multi-year strategic programming approach to better align the emerging thematic priorities with client needs.

Institutional Goals

The Bank has established four institutional goals which build on progress made during the Bank’s inaugural year.:

Sharpening the Bank’s Strategic Focus and Shaping its Corporate Brand

Scaling-Up Support to Clients and Refining the Programming Approach

Bolstering Financial Sustainability and Paving the Way for Market Access

Continuing Institution Building

These institutional goals lay the foundation for implementing the three thematic priorities.

Thematic Priorities

During its first year of operations, client demand and stakeholder engagements have strongly validated the original rationale for the creation of the Bank, and emphasized three areas of particular relevance, which have now evolved into the Bank’s emerging thematic priorities:

Sustainable Infrastructure

Promoting green infrastructure and supporting countries to meet their environmental and development goals.

Cross-border Connectivity

Prioritizing cross-border infrastructure, ranging from roads and rail, to ports, energy pipelines and telecoms across Central Asia, and the maritime routes in Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and beyond.

Private Capital Mobilization

Devising innovative solutions that catalyze private capital, in partnership with other MDBs, governments, private financiers and other partners.

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank with a mission to improve social and economic outcomes in Asia. Headquartered in Beijing, we began operations in January 2016 and have now grown to 97 approved members worldwide. By investing in sustainable infrastructure and other productive sectors in Asia and beyond, we will better connect people, services and markets that over time will impact the lives of billions and build a better future.
